I love award season. I was so sad when the Golden Globes were canceled, and so happy when the writers strike ended and the Oscars were able to happen. The red carpet is the best part of the entire show. I love seeing all of the beautiful gowns, and all of the hidious ones. These are some of my favorites gowns from the Oscars!!!!

Over President's Day weekend I went to visit my sister in Denver!!! We started the weekend by sleeping in. One of my favorite things to do when I am with my sisters is to go get in their bed early in the morning and then sleep for two more hours. We also went shopping and got tons of cute baby girl clothes. Jami was so sweet to help me register at Pottery Barn Kids. She is so talented with home decor and showed me all the must haves for my nursery. On Monday we went to the coolest ice skating rink. The rink is a real pond in the summer and up in the middle of the mountains. We pulled my nephew Crew around on the sled while my brother-in-law Spencer played hockey. Crew loved it, he also couldn't eat enough snow, he is such a doll (doesn't he look like the little boy from A Christmas Story when he falls and can't get up.) After our ice skating escapade we definitely need some time at the salon. I got a pedicure while Jami got a manicure. I feel so lucky to have such fun sisters, whenever I get the chance I always try to visit them. No matter where we are or what we are doing we always have the best time. We are all definietly as Jami and Anne of Green Gable put it "kindrid spirits!" Thanks Jame for such a fun weekend!!! We missed you Shannon, and Mom!

February 13 I went to the doctors for my monthly appointment, and this time they were doing the ultrasound. I had gone 6 weeks earlier to find out the gender of my baby at the mall. The practioner told Brian and me that we were 100% having a baby boy. Well to our surprise (6 weeks later) the doctor found no penis, only a vajayjay!!!! This was the biggest SHOCKER of all time. The first thing I did was let out an ear piercing scream, everyone in the waiting room probably thought I just found out I was having triplets. Next, I sat in the ultrasound room for 15 mintues after the doctor left with my jaw on the floor hoping I was not going to throw up or cry. The rest of the day I spent mourning over this baby boy, I felt I had lost. I hadn't realized how excited I was to have a boy, until it was no longer true. I felt as if I no longer knew the baby that was in my belly. I had all of these things pictured in my head like: his nursery, his name, his wardrobe, his face, etc... I know all of these things sound unimportant but to me they were important. By the next morning, and after some prayer, I realized how ungrateful I was being. I mean how could I be sad about something I never had, how could I be sad about the sex of my baby when some women can't even get pregnant? After a week of getting through the initial shock I am happy to say that I am genuinly excited about my baby girl, and I love her more than she will ever know (even though I don't technically know her yet)! I am just so grateful that she is healthy, and still alive in my belly!!!! I definitely love my sweet little girl, and now you all get to vote again on names. This will be the last one I swear!!!!

I know it has been a week since Valentines but I wanted to make a top ten list of the reasons I love my husband! Here they are in no particular order.10. He is one of the most loyal people I know.9. I have never ever heard him speaking poorly or badly about anyone.8. He takes care of all the boring details in life that I hate doing such as: laundry, paying bills, car stuff, budgets, etc...7. I have never meet a harder worker, and he never gives up.6. He knows how to deal with my annoying habits such as: the inability to be on time, the need to go on vacation once a month, the inability to control my shopping, and my forgetfulness.5. He has a strong testimony.4. He is quick to forgive, and never holds a grudge.3. He is super goofy, and can be weird and crazy with me.2. He can laugh at his own shortcomings.1. He is always so sweet to me and makes me feel special, and loved. I know he is going to be a great dad, I can't wait to see him with our baby girl!

As many of you know two Christmas's ago I sent out a treat bag to all of our friends from me and my husband. Of course (pulling a classic Jaclyn move) I made a typo on the card, and didn't realize it until they were all put together. Well, the card said it was from Jaclyn and Brain. Now here we are a year later and I did the same thing in my ABC Tag Post, and had no idea until I read my comments, and how everyone just thinks it is soooo funny. I cannot help my inability to type the name Brian, and anyways Brain is a great nickname don't you think? Well I sure am glad that I was able to give everyone a good laugh.

My name is Jaclyn King. I am obesessed with fashion to say the least. I wanted to start a fun and inspiring blog about the ordinary but still beautiful girl. When I read my fashion mags from cover to cover, I always look for section about the perfectly styled girl found on the street. So this blog is dedicated to exactly that! I will post almost daily of the expertly dressed people I see on the streets, and give a little insight to their fashion guidelines.
